Scientists Take a Deep Dive Into the Imperfect World of 2D Materials

Image - This image, taken at Berkeley Lab's Molecular Foundry, shows an illustration of the atomic structure of a 2D material called tungsten disulfide. Tungsten atoms are shown in blue and sulfur atoms are shown in yellow. The background shows groupings of flakes of the material (dark gray) grown by a process called chemical vapor deposition on a titanium dioxide layer (light gray).
